Bills Passed
In Llano
Llano county merchants receiv-
ed an object lesson the pant
week in the advisability of oa-
ammir.g money which paeeee
through their hand* And a 2B-
year-old Llano county man, bus*
pectad of having acted as the

chargee at Auetm.
One dollar b.llc. ra.aed in crude
fashion to those o* »500 denomi*
ration first were passed at Lone
Grove. Last week, two of the
raised bills were accepted by lo-
cal merchant* shortly before the
o*fense was discovered.
Desp.te the crudity of the bille
it wat found by curioue victime
and officers, who proffered the
bi'le to other* for eaperimental
purpose., that a majority of per-
cent would accept them.
Cornen had been torn from
several M-00 bills— one from
each, ao that It could be passed
also—and pa.ted on $1.00 billa-
Some of the raised $1.00 bills
were altered only on two corner*
of on* side of the bill and other*
had the $5 00 numeral* pasted on
three corner* of on* aid*. Tha
billa wera handed to tho mer-
chant* after having been folded
to chow only th* raised numerals.
Although tha bills readily war#
pasted, quick detection wa* In-
evitable whan tha merchant*
checked their cash.
